the task MARK and RACHEL (BB) are doing seems like they are alone doing an RB or they are the non-participant in the RB and get a free tour of Tanzania

we also have screen caps of NARY doing what LOOKS like an RB in a future episode (beekeeping) which we speculate is in Tanzania

that would would mean NEXT (Leg 8 ) is ALSO Tanzania, and the beekeeping RB is for Leg 8

Well, each team member is taking turns with the RBs this season. So it would be Mark and Rachel's turn to do one. It would also be Nary's turn. Maybe they are taking a little safari trip to the beekeeping task.But I wouldn't rule out the beekeeping thing as a detour option.

Did anyone else hear whichever of Joey and Danny did the RB last night say that he "had to" Maybe they require them to take turns now? Or was it another odd thing like episode 1 where some people had to do it?

I reviewed that last night. There was NO "had to" mentioned. Danny asked Joey if he wanted to do it, Joey said sure.

With a couple of early exceptions, the teams have all been keeping the sharing of the roadblock tasks as even as possible. I don't think the rules have changed, I think these teams are being better about managing this issue.

AT this point, we are not even 100% sure Tanzania IS two legs, but I'm hoping! And it would fit well in this position...

There seems to be a lack of spoiling going on with this episode, I know not a lot of info has come out yet. But I did some research and this is what I speculate.

They travel to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, which is where they train with Masai warriors. This area has Masai villages so it makes sense to me. I believe this to be the roadblock, since Rachel and Mark are shown in what I assume to be the NCA area.I think the beekeeping task happens at Njiro Wildlife Research Centre, near the town of Arusha. Here is where I found info on that: http://www.tawiri.or.tz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=19Have you guys been speculating this is a TBC leg, or that it was a double leg in Tanzania?

I have speculated weeks ago that Tanzania will be a double leg and nothing since has dissuaded me from that point of view.

I also did research on possible concentrations of bees near Kilimanjaro summarized in posts 759 and 762 on 2/22/12. The most prominent turned out to be "Honey production in Tanzania is dependent on small holders beekeepers, using traditional hives for African honeybees. Over 95% of beekeeping is practised in Savannah Forests "Miombo Woodlands"

I believe it is likely that one of the following is the site AR20 used:field station at West Kilimanjaro (Mount Kilimanjaro)field station at Tabora Research Station (Miombo woodland)main hive at Njiro Wildlife Research Centre

Central Tanzania is too farwhile the above sites are relatively close to Arusha.

I don't think it's in play, but there is a National Beekeeping Station in Nairobi, Kenya which is a remote possibility for the beekeeping task.
